Instrument Arrival
When your lab site preparation is completed, and the system is
delivered, call your local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative to
arrange for an installation date.
Thermo Scientific instruments are transported either by carriers who
specialize in the handling of delicate machinery, or by airfreight for long
distance shipment. Occasionally however, equipment inadvertently gets
damaged in transit.
Take the following precautions when receiving material:
•
Carefully check for obvious damage or evidence of rough handling.
•
If external damage is apparent, take photographs, note this fact on
all copies of the receiving documents and briefly describe the extent
of the damage. Drivers should sign (or put their initials) next to your
comments to signify agreement with your observations.
•
Contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative to report the
damage and let a certified Thermo Fisher Scientific service
representative check for further damage.
When your system arrives, move it to a protected location indoors ,
preferably the installation site. Take the specifications described for the
laboratory in this guide as a guideline for the temperature and humidity
in the storage room. If you have questions about moving your system,
contact your local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.
Transportation Risk
Transportation risk depends on the terms of delivery agreed. The terms
of shipment determine who has responsibility for filing a claim against
the carrier if the system is damaged in transit.
Tip If the instrument shipping container, ShockWatch™, or other
indicator shows any evidence of damage or mishandling during
shipment, do
not open the container. Call your Thermo Fisher
Scientific representative for instructions on what to do. If the system
arrives safely, proceed with the following instructions.
Tip Freight insurance requires that obvious damage is noted on the
receiving documents. Thermo Fisher Scientific will not accept liability
for damage if materials are received with obvious damage and the
damage is not recorded on the receiving documents.
